An Apology and a Prayer to My Heavenly Dad

OOPS!
I am so sorry you guys, I'm not used to communicating by computer, and I haven't read most of your comments, until last night. But they were all SO encouraging, thank you all for being so kind. Joe, thanks for your patience; Jeff has your email address and he said he'd write to you. All this time I've been wondering who jocat85 was; I didn't know it was you. It was so good to hear from you. Anyway, sorry everybody for not acknowledging your comments; they were all so wonderful! I'm so thankful for my great friends.

And since tomorrow is Father's Day, I wanted to write something to the Lord:

Abba,
Thank You that you let me know that You are my Father and I am Your child. Thank You that You delight in me, enjoy me, and rejoice over me with singing and shouts of joy! Thank You that you are always with me, holding my hand. Thank you how, as a father carries his child, You have carried me through all the wildernesses of my life. When I look into Your face I see Your kindness, Your compassion, your unconditional, unfailing love, your everlasting devotion, your patience, and Your joy. You encourage me, You strengthen me, you protect me with Your strong hands, You guide me with Your counsel. Thank You that I'm in Your family forever. I love You.
Your daughter.
